G-STAR launches Anatomic Denim, a bold new move that merges design innovation, visual storytelling, and art into one cohesive statement. Conceived around the anatomy and movement of the human body, principles central to the denim brand since the introduction of the G-STAR Elwood in 1996. The project spans three pillars: a new denim collection, a global campaign by Jordan Hemingway, and an art installation in the form of a monumental Anatomic Denim Gorilla by Darwin, Sinke & van Tongeren.
The Campaign: Movement in Its Purest Form
At the heart of Anatomic Denim is a cinematic and photographic campaign by cult director and photographer Jordan Hemingway, renowned for his visceral style and collaborations with Gucci, Prada, and Maison Margiela. The imagery features athletes from gymnastics, pole dancing, cycling, and calisthenics, but with all their usual apparatus removed. No rings, no pole, no bike. What remains is the human body in motion, clad in denim engineered to move with it.
“From the very first call, I knew this one would be special”, says Hemingway. “G-STAR is a brand with real heritage, but what makes them exciting is their appetite for reinvention and boundary-pushing. This project was exhilarating in every sense, full of creative and technical challenges that demanded invention. Working closely with their team to solve them wasn’t just rewarding—it was a joy.”
The Product: Anatomic Denim
Designed to follow and enhance the body’s natural form, the new Anatomic Denim range is the next evolution of G-STAR’s pioneering approach to fit and construction.
• The Contor – A futuristic take on the Arc, with architectural lines and a sculpted fit. • The Kitoh – Engineered seams trace musculature, emphasizing shape and motion. • The G-STAR Elwood – The original icon, reimagined for 2025 with refined anatomical tailoring.
“Anatomic Denim is the next step in G-STAR’s denim evolution, designing not just for the body, but with it in mind,” says Gwenda van Vliet, Chief Brand Officer at G-STAR. “Merging our 3D legacy with art, science, and craftsmanship, we bring denim to life in a raw, expressive, unmistakably G-STAR way.”
The Art: The Denim Gorilla
Completing the project is The Denim Gorilla, a 3.5-meter sculpture created with Darwin, Sinke & van Tongeren, celebrated for their mastery of fine taxidermy. Entirely crafted from denim, the piece explores anatomy and structure on a monumental scale. It is now on display at the Art Zoo Museum in Amsterdam and has taken center stage during Amsterdam Fashion Week and CIFF Copenhagen.
The Anatomic Denim collection is available from September 23, 2025, with prices ranging from $170 to $370 [£120 to £300 and €119.95 to €300] at selected retailers and on www.g-star.com.

The two companies continue to grow their wearables lineup with new products revealed at Meta Connect.
EssilorLuxottica and Meta Platforms, Inc. showcased the evolution of their celebrated partnership at Meta Connect, where they unveiled the next generation of AI glasses. Expanding on the groundbreaking category of products they’ve introduced to date, including Ray-Ban Meta, the #1 selling AI glasses in the world, and the more recent launch of Oakley Meta HSTN, the newest glasses heading into the market will raise the bar to a new level in terms of style, functionality and human connection.
Building on the initial success of Oakley Meta HSTN comes Oakley Meta Vanguard, a new line of AI glasses introducing the world to the era of Athletic Intelligence. Available in four color options, Oakley Meta Vanguard combines Oakley’s signature PRIZM lenses with a powerful 12MP ultra-wide camera (122° field of view), high decibel open-ear speakers, and advanced wind noise reduction, perfect for running down a noisy road or biking through 30 mph winds. Optimized for comfort during long workouts, the glasses are compatible with cycling helmets and hats, and are built to endure harsh elements with IP67 water and dust resistance, handling sun, snow and dirt with ease. The integration of Garmin and Strava gives athletes real-time personalized performance insights and with up to 9 hours of typical mixed-use battery life (plus an additional 36 hours via the charging case), Oakley Meta Vanguard is made to last through your entire marathon or century ride. And they’re designed with swappable Oakley PRIZM lenses, so you can customize your look and optimize for various lighting conditions. Pre-orders for Oakley Meta Vanguard are available today for 499$ (549 EUR) on Oakley.com and Meta.com.
In addition, EssilorLuxottica and Meta unveiled the next generation of Ray-Ban Meta.

Ray-Ban Meta continues to get better and more capable over time with regular updates and new features. At Connect, Meta revealed Conversation Focus, a new feature coming soon that uses AI glasses’ open-ear speakers to amplify the voice of the person you’re talking to, helping distinguish it from ambient background noise in cafes and restaurants, parks, and other busy places. Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) is available today starting at 379$ (419 EUR) on Ray-Ban.com and Meta.com.
The most future-forward product to come from their collaboration is Meta Ray-Ban Display, which combines the world’s most popular AI glasses with an integrated display for the first time. The glasses feature a built-in, full-color visual display in the right lens that discreetly shows wearers incoming messages, previews of photos to capture, video calls, and visual AI information like step-by-step instructions. Customers can order Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses with their own unique prescription, and each pair comes fitted with Transitions lenses. The display glasses come with the Meta Neural Band, an EMG wristband that enables you to control the glasses with subtle hand and finger movements. EssilorLuxottica’s decades of R&D in advanced lens technology paired with Meta’s hardware breakthroughs and leading AI capabilities provide a new window into the world in front of us. Meta Ray-Ban Display is available at select brick-and-mortar stores in the U.S. on September 30, starting at $799 USD, with expansion to Canada, France, Italy, and the UK planned for early 2026.
